Abstract

Renaturable regions in the DNA strands of the N group plasmid pCU1 have been visualized as stem-loop structures by electron microscopy. Four such distinct structures are described, the smallest of which is within the loop of a larger one. The region of pCU1 in which these structures occur has several restriction sites. This and the availability of plasmid deletions and recombinants has permitted the mapping of these structures relative to one another and to the restriction and functional map of the plasmid. The replication and maintenance region of the plasmid is located within one of these stem-loop structures.
